As well as excluding certain Switch 2<\/a> games from the cloud save feature, Nintendo<\/a> has updated its website to remove mentions of VRR support.<\/p>\n

Ever since the initial hype of the Nintendo Switch 2 showcase, Nintendo has been undercutting itself with subsequent details; ones that have had to be dragged out of the company or uncovered elsewhere.<\/p>\n

There was rampant confusion over whether the physical versions of Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games<\/a> would actually have the full game on the cartridge, with Nintendo only recently confirming with UK and Australian outlets that this will be the case (although American and Japan has still not mentioned the issue).<\/p>\n

Speaking of Switch 2 Editions, the already pricey port of The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild<\/a> is already known not to include any of the DLC<\/a>. And now, more uncovered small print has soured the deal even further.<\/p>\n

As spotted on Nintendo\u2019s own website, it appears certain Switch 2 games won\u2019t be compatible with Nintendo\u2019s cloud save feature. This allows players to back up their save files, which can then be downloaded should their console be lost or broken.<\/p>\n

At first, it seemed this only applied to Switch 2 Editions, with listings for Breath Of The Wild<\/a>, its sequel Tears Of The Kingdom<\/a>, and Super Mario Party Jamboree<\/a> all having the following small print: \u2018This software does not support the Nintendo Switch Online paid membership\u2019s Save Data Cloud backup feature.\u2019<\/p>\n

There seems to be no consistency though, as the Switch 2 Editions of Metroid Prime 4<\/a> and Kirby And The Forgotten Land<\/a> do work with cloud saves, but Donkey Kong Bananza<\/a>, which is only on Switch 2, does not.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no clear explanation for why Donkey Kong Bananza lacks cloud save support or why only some Switch 2 Edition games are excluded, especially when those three examples have cloud save support on the Switch 1.<\/p>\n
